But the studio’s work became known across the globe in 2010 after its depictions of Tiger Woods’ affairs received coverage in Western media.

Since then it has been publicised for its animations on everything from last year’s royal wedding to Hollywood star Lindsay Lohan’s stint in prison.

The latest bizarre video had already received hundreds of views last night, and been widely shared on Twitter, since it was first published on Wednesday.

Cardiff council deputy leader Neil McEvoy said the proposal has generated considerable interest from newspapers and broadcasters from the UK and beyond over the past week.

The Fairwater councillor has spoken on BBC World Service about the idea, as well as a major radio station in Ireland.

He said: “There has been a huge media interest. The Sun phoned up the council and wanted to know if every light in Cardiff was going to become pink.”

The idea surfaced last week after Fairwater residents were told at a PACT meeting that the lights could help curb anti-social behaviour in known trouble hotspots.

The lighting scheme, which has been a success elsewhere in the UK, would aim to highlight skin blemishes and send youngsters fleeing in embarrassment.

But the Children’s Commissioner for Wales, Keith Towler, has urged the council to take a “positive approach” towards working with young people.

Coun McEvoy said he was disappointed the idea has been criticised by some groups.

He said: “There is an issue here about the rights of elderly people, being able to live in the area without fear. The reality is that we want to try anything at all, no matter how quirky., that will make people’s lives easier.”
